Frankie Howerd did the same sort of thing with his partner-- I think the title was actually manager but I remember reading an interview saying he also sort of acted as valet.
Oddly I've never seen any J/W stories using the premise that the boys were lovers first and that Jeeves being Bertie's valet was really just a way of hiding their true relationship.
I second (third?) the goodness of this notion! I guess maybe it never occurred to anyone because we have a canon description of their first meeting? Though there are certainly fics where they knew each other before. Gahhhhh, now I want to write it.
I really wanted Wimsey/Bunter to be slashable, and in fact quite enjoyed what little slash there is with them, but the more I thought about it, the more I had a hard time making it really work as well as say, Bertie and Jeeves. I can see Wimsey/Bunter more readily during the war.

Just long-windedly voicing agreement, I suppose.
